Why don't half my characters work and are red and white question people sims 4

★★★ Newbie

I'm currently reinstalling the game in the hope that doing so will allow me to play it.  The last expansion pack messed with my game so much it had to be redownloaded. First it deleted all my expansion packs and when I redownloaded them it made them red and white with question marks.  This essentially meant that they were unplayable.   I was too late to contact support for the day and now am trying to redownload the game

@kenzilorraine I merged your post with the master thread on this

Try repairing your game by repairing your game through Origin (right click on the game and choose repair game)

 

@sarenelsoria Reinstalling should hopefully work too

Good Luck

Sims 4 Cats N Dogs World Error

★★★ Newbie

So I downloaded and installed the Sims 4 starter pack and then downloaded and installed the Sims 4 Cats N Dogs. It was working fine up until today when I tried to play. It says "finalizing" under the expansion pack details. When I open up Sims 4 and click Cats N Dogs it works up until I try to load a saved game. Because my saved game was played in Brindleton Bay (which is a world for the sims cats n dogs) it says the world was not installed, when it's finished installing restart Origin to play the game... which doesn't make sense because the entire game and expansion pack is already downloaded and installed. In my saved game my sim has no hair and my dogs are missing. But my other saved game is fine, I just can't play it. Can someone tell me how I can fix this or if there is an Origin customer service email I can use to contact Origin? The chat option is unavailable and so is the call option. Thank you in advance! Standard smile

Re: Sims 4 Cats N Dogs World Error

@kclinder77  Please clear Origin's cache (Windows) or run the Origin reset tool (macOS):

https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/how-to-reset-origin-on-mac/

 

Restart your computer, and repair the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  Then check whether you need to redownload Cats & Dogs.  If Origin doesn't start the download automatically, you can click on the Sims 4 icon, select More > Expansion Packs, find C&D on the list, and click Download if it's showing.

 

For the save with missing content, try recovering a backup version, that is once you've confirmed that the pack is loading again.  Here's how:
